Father’s plea for paralysed daughter

A FATHER whose paralysed daughter can’t get a rehabilitation bed has launched a desperate appeal for help.

Mother-of-one, Catherine O’Leary, 31, from Ballincollig, Co Cork, suffered two massive strokes during brain surgery to remove a tumour in February.

They caused Locked-In Syndrome leaving her fully aware and awake but paralysed from the neck down and unable to speak.
